There was hope for a few days, but now it seems to have disappeared. Negotiations for a truce in the fighting in Gaza continue this Sunday in Cairo (Egypt) after seven months of war in the Palestinian territory, triggered by Hamas attacks against Israel on October 7. The Israeli proposal, agreed in part in cooperation with the United States, which considers it “extremely generous”, calls for a 40-day truce accompanied by the release of 33 Israeli hostages – women, minors, elderly or vulnerable people – in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
Hamas said this Friday that it was “in a positive mood” ahead of its trip to Cairo, where talks are taking place with Egyptian, Qatari and American mediators. “It is clear that we are moving forward,” Hamas chief spokesman Osama Hamdan told Al Jazeera on Saturday. This Sunday, the negotiations appear to have reached a deadlock again, and no Israeli delegation will travel to the Egyptian capital without progress. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh also accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sabotaging mediation efforts to continue the conflict.
